The eBay description of this was throwing in lots of totally irrelevant keywords for effect. That's a good result though, since I was actually searching for the LED lamps with the built-in bug zapper and found this intriguing lamp.

Why do you so Not Test the Led with mosquitos? The light color will Imitate the morning sun when mosquitos dont bite.
I am also an expert in mosquito repellent, but I use self-developed mosquito repellent products
The question is, does it really work?
Due to accent differences, I thought you were saying "megafarad" for a second.
THis was interesting. Randomly found it. Glad I did.
I was wondering if a wifi/bluetooth controlled RGB LED globe set to a similar yellow/orange colour could create a similar light and work as anti-insect?
I'm hunting for a moment near the end when the schematic isn't blocked by your paraphernalia so I can screenshot it. No chance. Oh well. Thanks for the good video.

I'm at a loss here. . . . . Out in my yard, there are two 35W SOX lamps (lovely, classic sodium yellow), and yet, as it starts to get dark and lamps turn on, there are all manner of flying beasties the congregate around the lamps, and among them are midgies and mosquitoes – how come? If the yellow is supposed to repel them, or if they're supposed to be unable to see that part of the spectrum. Also, why is it that it's when the sun begins to set, or rise, and its light is yellow in appearance, the mozzies come out for a feed?
It's primarily an anti moth light, and it only works if the moths have alternative white lights to go to. If you put the yellow lights strategically where the people are and a white light some short distance away, all the moths will go to the white one and stay away from the people.
If the only light is the yellow one the moths will still find it. Apparently they're not THAT blind to the longer wavelengths.
I can't imagine moths are that much of a problem on the Isle o' Man, but here in Australia they can reach plague proportions. Anyone who's ever eaten moth with their BBQ sangers and coleslaw will know what I mean.
Yes, but does it actually repel insects? Further experimentation required.
